Sibuya Game Reserve and Lodge
39 Eastbourne Road, 6191 Kenton on Sea, South Africa – Excellent location – show map
We stayed in River Camp in the most beautiful tents. We adored our time there, the boat journey up the river is a wonderful start. Our game drives were fantastic and Nicolas' passion for his job and his enjoyment of working in nature was wonderful. It was the highlight of our children's holiday and they are still wearing their Sibuya hats! I'd highly recommend it for a family safari experience.

A 9-km boat ride along the Kariega River provides the only access to malaria-free Sibuya Game Reserve, set in the forest. It offers Big Five game drives, river cruises and tented accommodations. With a deck overlooking the river or forest, the spacious tents are in 2 separate camps. Each has luxury bedding, an all-weather roof and an African-themed private bathroom with free-standing bath. Glass doors open onto a wooden deck. The secluded suites are located at the Bush Lodge and are fully en-suite with outside and inside showers and private sun viewing decks. Breakfast is served daily and lunch and dinner can be taken in each camp’s river-view restaurant. The river can be heard on evenings spent around the campfire. Birdwatching, bushwalking and fishing are available, and canoes can be rented. Off-site activities including golf and horseriding on the beach. Free secure parking is provided at Sibuya Game Reserve and Lodge’s check-in location in Kenton-on-Sea. A shuttle can be requested from Port Elizabeth Airport, around a 2-hour drive away.
